仓央嘉措64首情诗：
翻译/佚名

我问你：
相爱的时间究竟是多久。
你默默道：永远！
我问你：
永远有多远？
你坚定道：
若非死别，
绝不生离！

Because (I) desperately fell in love with (her)，
(I) asked whether (she) would care to become (my) intimate companion.
“Unless we are separated by death，
We should never part alive.” Was (her) answer.

Witness the wildflowers on the grasslands where gods come to die
目击众神死亡的草原上野花一片

The wind – more distant than the furthest places
远在远方的风比远方更远

My lute crying out without tears
我的琴声呜咽 泪水全无

I return the distance of distant places to the grasslands
我把这远方的远归还草原

One is called the head of my horse One the tail
一个叫马头 一个叫马尾

My lute crying out without tears
我的琴声呜咽 泪水全无


In the distance there are only wild flowers brought together in death
远方只有在死亡中凝聚野花一片

The bright moon like a mirror hung high over the grasslands, shines down on a thousand years
明月如镜 高悬草原 映照千年岁月

My lute crying out without tears
我的琴声呜咽 泪水全无

Alone whipping my horse crossing the grasslands
只身打马过草原

My Motherland
我的祖国

This is a great river, waves on waves,
The wind spreads rice flower fragrance overboth banks.
There lives my family at the riverside,
I get used to hearing those boatmen'ssongs,
And get used to watching those white boat sails.
一条大河波浪宽，
风吹稻花香两岸，
我家就在岸上住，
听惯了艄公的号子，
看惯了船上的白帆。

This is my beautiful Motherland,
A place where I was born;
On this vast expanse of land,
Enchanting sceneries are here and there.
这是美丽的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片辽阔的土地上，
到处都有明媚的风光。

The Lasses have flower-like faces,
And the Lads have ocean-like minds.
In order to open up a new world,
They awaken the sleeping mountains,
And have the rivers taken on new look.
姑娘好像花一样，
小伙儿心胸多宽广，
为了开辟新天地，
唤醒了沉睡的高山，
让那河流改变了模样。

This is my heroical Motherland,
A place where I grow up;
On this ancient land,
The power of youth is all around.
这是英雄的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片古老的土地上，
到处都有青春的力量。

Beautiful mountains and waters make a delightful place,
And every road is so smooth and so wide.
When our friends come, there are good wine for them,
When our enemies come, there are shotguns for them.
好山好水好地方，
条条大路都宽敞，
朋友来了有好酒，
若是那豺狼来了，
迎接它的有猎枪。

This is my powerful Motherland,
A place where I live my life,
On this warm land,
Everywhere is the sunshine of peace.
这是强大的祖国，
是我生长的地方；
在这片温暖的土地上，
到处都有和平的阳光。

The Sail
Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov

《帆》
莱蒙托夫



A lonely sail is flashing white
蔚蓝的海面雾霭茫茫，

Amidst the blue mist of the sea!...
孤独的帆儿闪着白光！……

What does it seek in foreign lands?
它到遥远的异地寻找着什么，

What did it leave behind at home?..
它把什么抛在故乡？……



Waves heave, wind whistles,
呼啸的海风翻卷着波浪，

The mast, it bends and creaks...
桅杆弓着腰在嘎吱作响……

Alas, it seeks not happiness
唉，它不是要寻找幸福，

Nor happiness does it escape!
也不是逃避幸福的乐疆！



Below, a current ‘azure bright,
下面涌着清澈的碧波，

Above, a golden ray of sun...
上面洒着金色的阳光……

Rebellious, it seeks out a storm
不安分的帆儿却祈求风暴，

As if in storms it could find peace!
仿佛风暴里有宁静之邦！

《当你老了》——作者：叶芝（爱尔兰）

When You Are Old
By W.B. Yeats（1865 - 1939）

When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read,
and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face among a crowd of stars.

当你老了，白发茫茫，睡眼蒙眬，
壁炉前打盹儿，请取出这本诗歌，
轻轻吟咏，追忆你过去温柔的眼神，
回想它们深深的倒影；
多少人爱你青春妩媚的时光，
爱慕你的美貌，假意，也或真心，
唯有一人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂，
爱你渐衰面容上痛苦的皱纹。
垂首，在红光闪耀的壁炉旁，
凄然地轻诉那爱情的消逝，
在头顶的山间它缓缓踱步，
在漫天繁星中藏匿脸庞。

If ou were coming in the Fall (如果你在秋天来到)
by Emily Dickinson
艾米丽.狄金森

If you were coming in the fall,
I'd brush the summer by
With half a smile and half a spurn,
As housewives do a fly.
如果你在秋天到来
我会把夏天掸掉
半带轻蔑，半带浅笑
像家庭主妇将苍蝇赶跑
If I could see you in a year,
I'd wind the months in balls,
And put them each in separate drawers,
Until their time befalls
如果你在一年后到来
我会把月份卷成一个个线球
把它们放进不同的抽屉
直至各自的时日来到
If only centuries delayed,
I'd count them on my hand,
Subtracting till my fingers dropped
Into Van Diemen's land.
如果相聚只耽搁了几个世纪
我会掰着手指计数
逐日递减，直到手指全部掉入
范迪门的荒原
If certain, when this life was out,
That yours and mine should be.
I'd toss it yonder like a rind,
And taste eternity.
如果确信，必须今生度完
你我才能相见
我会像抛弃果皮一样抛弃生命
以品尝永恒的甘甜
But now, all ignorant of the length
Of time’s uncertain wing,
It goads me, like the goblin bee,
That will not state its sting.
但现在，我茫然不知
时光之翼的长短
犹如妖蜂，它那隐藏的毒刺
使我刺痛慌乱

艾米莉·狄金森（1830年12月10日－1886年5月15日），美国诗人。

A marriage of two 　　
is for love that is true
两人的婚姻
有爱源于心

A marriage of two 　　
is always something new
两人的婚姻 　　
历久亦常新

A marriage of two 　　
happens sometimes out of the blue 　
两人的婚姻 　　
偶有意外生

A marriage of two 　　
is worth it when its due 　　
两人的婚姻 　　
相宜就值得

A marriage of two 　　
is a marriage of trust 　　
Many can find themselves lost 　　
It can be an expensive cost 　
两人的婚姻 　　
信任相缔连 　　
迷途不罕见 　　
失足代价高

They are only very few 　　
who have a clue 　　
of when love accrues 　　
唯独有情人 　　
知晓 　　
何处爱渐增

A marriage of two 　　
is about love making 　　
It is not about 　　
money raking 　　
两人的婚姻 　　
是情相互倚 　　
而非 　　
财富的攫取

A marriage of two 　　
can be bad 　　
A marriage of two 　　
can be sad 　　
You should only be glad if 　　
A marriage of two 　　
is for love that is true 　　
两人的婚姻 　　
或许很糟糕 　　
两人的婚姻 　　
或许成哀号 　　
君当感欣慰 　　
两人的婚姻 　　
有爱源于心

Time Hushes All Memories

时间煮雨



作词：郭敬明;落落
翻译：kriskingdom翻译组



Whisper of the rain
Only shards of time remain
All those dreams you held in your hands
Turned into dust and sand

风吹雨成花
时间追不上白马
你年少掌心的梦话
依然紧握着吗

As the seasons go
Tears are covered by times flow
Step by step we walked through the tears
How did we end up here

云翻涌成夏
眼泪被岁月蒸发
这条路上的你我她
有谁迷路了吗

We said we would never apart
A promise I kept in my heart
Against time we will stand tall
Even if the world shuns us all

我们说好不分离
要一直一直在一起
就算与时间为敌
就算与全世界背离

Whisper of the snow
Reminder of our sorrow
Broken vows now lay at my feet
Forever incomplete

风吹亮雪花
吹白我们的头发
当初说一起闯天下
你们还记得吗

On that summer day
On our dreams we sailed away
Hand in hand, we could form a boat
Helping us stay afloat

那一年盛夏
心愿许的无限大
我们手拉手也成舟
划过悲伤河流

You said we would never apart
And I held those words in my heart
Now I wonder if they last
Or are they fragments of the past

你曾说过不分离
要一直一直在一起
现在我想问问你
是否只是童言无忌

Our naive days we will stay
Our bonds I will not betray
Oh snow, please do not erase
Those traces from our old days

天真岁月不忍欺
青春荒唐我不负你
大雪求你别抹去
我们在一起的痕迹

Oh snow you cannot erase
Smiles and tears from our old days
Here comes the night
Under the moonlight
To each other we wave goodbye
And wait for time to fly

大雪也无法抹去
我们给彼此的印记
今夕何夕
青草离离
明月夜送君千里
等来年 秋风起

You say that you love rain,
but you open your umbrella when it rains...
You say that you love the sun,
but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines...
You say that you love the wind,
But you close your windows when wind blows...
This is why I am afraid;
You say that you love me too...

你说你喜欢雨，�但是下雨的时候你却撑开了伞；�你说你喜欢阳光，�但当阳光播撒的时候，�你却躲在阴凉之地；�你说你喜欢风，�但清风扑面的时候，�你却关上了窗户。�我害怕你对我也是如此之爱。
